Author Bud Hopkins says thousands of people have close
|
|
encounters with aliens each year, but are either unwilling or unable to
|
|
discuss them. Hopkins was one of 150 participants in a "Close Encounters of
|
|
the Fourth Kind" weekend conference which included leading researchers, a
|
|
former NASA Astronaut and seven people who claim to have been abducted by
|
|
aliens. "Skepticism's fine. Ridicule isn't, said Hopkins, author of the book
|
|
"Intruders." "We have to raid the public's level of consciousness," he said.
|
|
"If these stories were just fantasies, you would expect a lot of variation,"
|
|
sid Ed Bullard, another author and UFO reseracher. "But there's a profound
|
|
coherency, an order in what they say." Aspen already may have had its
|
|
consciousnes raised. Reports coming in over the weekend included one from a
|
|
police officer, of strange lights flickering over the mountain tops. Travis
|
|
Walton, who says he was abducted from a lumber camp in Arizona and
|
|
transported to an alien spacecraft "for five days, six hours" in 1975,
|
|
decided to make a rare public appearance at the meeting. "I want people to
|
|
understand, to accept, said Walton, 36, who talked of a rare "multiple
|
|
witness" case now famous in UFO reserach. Walton said he'd stopped his truck
|
|
to investigate a strange light that he and his six co-workers saw. Walter
|
|
approached the light and was "hit by a nasty beam" and whisked up to the
|
|
craft, he said. "When I came to, I was aboard, I was lying on my back and
|
|
they had some sort of object across my chest. My coat and shirt were pushed
|
|
up," he said. Medical tampering with human victims is a common thread in
|
|
close-encounter tales. "I believe genetic experiementing's at the heart of
|
|
the whole thing," Hopkins said of the abduction phenomenon. Hopkins said he
|
|
sees the alien presence as manipulative, not helpful, a point which touches
|
|
on a current hot topic in the UFO research community.
